Rules List? Found!

[atomicnitelight]

A few years ago I read a list of rules for living on a website. I don't think it was called that, maybe guidelines?. I think it was written by a woman, possibly a blogger. It might have been a list of what she felt was important

Sounds a little like "Anyway", probably first from a list by Kent Keith but usually attributed to Mother Teresa, and showing up online in several variations. Here's one:

ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical, self-centered
...love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives
...do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies
...be successful anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
...do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable
...be honest and frank anyway.
People love underdogs but follow only top dogs
...follow some underdog anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
...build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you try to help
...help people anyway.
If you give the world the best you have, you may get kicked in the teeth
...but give the world the best you have
...ANYWAY.

You see,
in the final analysis it is between you and God;
it was never between you and them anyway.

Thank You! I think that is it. I must have read it on a website somewhere. I had an awful day this weekend and needed to re-read this.
